188 Two dominant ideas pervade the words of this class, viz. those of 1, Birth; and 2, Existence in the abstract. As words expressive of ideas of the second class are regarded by philosophical writers as _derivatives_, the idea of Birth, as in the Greek words Genn-ao, Gun-ē, Genn-ētor, may be viewed as the _primary_ and _proper_ sense. 189 Vol. XIII., p. 373, Review of Wilkins’s Sanscrit Grammar. _ 190 Negro-land_—Dikkom, Dim, M., Tewe, F.; _Irish_—Dae, M. & F. 191 There are only two African words of this class, which have been left unnoticed in the analysis, viz. Blimozeh, “The Hand,” a Negro word, apparently related to “Bulla,” another Negro word for “The Hand,” probably allied also to “Pal-ma,” (_Latin_;) and Neworeh. “The Hand,” used by the _Phellatahs_, a tribe of North Africa, who inhabit a tract contiguous to Negro-land. These exceptions are too trifling to call for any qualification of the generality of the above statement. 192 On this subject the analysis of Manee and other analogous African words for “Man.” See also Observations on the Algonguyn Dialects of North America 193 “Ansa, for Hansa,” supine of Hendo, whence “Pre-hendo” (_Latin_).—Valpy’s Etym. Latin Dict. 194 Apparently a compound of Eed or Ied, and Man-us. 195 Tene in this dialect is prefixed to the names of the senses generally. Law, for instance, is the distinctive name of “The Hand,” Thoun is that of “The Tongue,” obviously connected with “Tongue,” (_English_). 196 “Dem gall, Dein gall” (_Fulahs_ and _Phellatahs_, North Africa), seem to be compounds of these words, with another root. 197 Del emme (_Negro-land_), “The Tongue,” seems to be a compound of the second and third classes. _ 198 Pehlwi_, “Hosuan.” The close connexion between the German and the Pehlwi, and the other dialects of Persia, is indisputable. 199 South Africa, Zebé, &c. 200 Hence, apparently, Lücko, Loko,—_South Africa_. 201 “Water,” Ahti, Cora,—Atl, _Mexico_. 202 Eau, “Water,” _French_. 203 Iâ, “Ice,” _Welsh_. 204 There are other analogous words,—Endschey, “Water,” _Negro-land_, Ente, “A Duck,” i.e. “A Water Fowl,” _German_. _ 205 Mongol_, Usu; _Tibet_, “Tschu.” _ 206 North America_ (_Azanax_), Eslenes. 207 Dour, Water, (_Welsh_); Jura, “The Sea,” (_Lettish._) Ejern (_Abyssinian_), “Water,” seems also to be connected with “Tschur,” “Jura,” &c. 208 Many examples serve to show that the names of Streams, &c., in Gaul, as preserved by the French, are in many instances more faithful transcripts of the original Celtic appellations than the names preserved by Latin writers. 209 Like the Greek, Ouranoi, “A _singular-plural_.”
